Synopsis:
How could confusion arise as wisdom? According to the Mahamudra view, it arises as wisdom when we realize that everything we experience is the radiance of the mind's own nature. And what is the nature of our mind? And how do we come to recognize that? These are the questions Gampopa answers for his students in the text commented upon here, known as the Great Community Talks (or Great Teachings to the Assembly). He shows them - and now us - the path of deep understanding and meditation that leads to the realization of Mahamudra, the "Great Seal" of the true nature of reality.
Gampopa in his teachings combined the general Mahayana teachings he received from the original Kadampa tradition of Atisha with the quintessential Vajrayana teachings, which he received from his guru, Milarepa. These became the basis of the Kagyu lineage he founded. Gampopa applied Milarepa's instructions on meditation to reach the highest realization of Mahamudra. In this particular work, Gampopa passes on these same instructions in the form of heart advice on how to practice the nature of mind and reach enlightenment.This text, which includes both Mahayana and Vajrayana teachings, is representative of the classic teachings of the Kagyu tradition in general.
Ringu Tulku is a popular contemporary Tibetan lama with a deep learning and a remarkable gift for presenting these traditional teachigs in a way that is accessible to Western hearts and minds. His commentary here on this text makes Gampopa's teaching wonderfully accessible. His gentleness, warmth, and humour shine through in his own heartfelt advice on how we too could transform confusion into wisdom.
"I am pleased that Ringu Tulku has chosen to share in Gampopa's spirit of offering the Dharma, in publishing this translation and commentary on Gampopa's Great Community Talks. I am confident that the coming together of these tow - root text and commentary, Gampopa and Ringu Tulku - will be a source of goodness in the world." Karmapa, Orgyen Trinley Dorje. |
